Protein Shakes

Tricialy · 07-21-2011, 04:32 PM

This is crazy - but I've never tried a protein shake before - does anyone have a recommendation for one that is good for P3? What is your favorite thing to do with your shake (add fruit, eggs ???) - I'd probably buy chocolate flavored, but maybe vanilla if I could figure out what to add to it.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not gifted with this, but I will give you some of the things I put in mine.

First you find your favorite liquid base. Nonfat milk, Coconut milk, Soy milk. Then I add a few ice cubes and some plain greek yogart. Then your favorite fruit , (berries), and a scoop of low carb protein powder. Then you can sweeten it a little with stevia or agave syrup.

Personally, while I cannot use this, I make my husband's shakes very tasty by adding sugar-free instant pudding mix. YUUUMMMMM Those shakes taste amazing!

Other common things to put into tasty shakes:
vanilla flavoring
cream cheese
almond butter - (I'll bet that'd be good with the chocolate flavor!)

Instead of ice, some people use frozen berries.

So: liquid. Icee stuff. Thickening agent. Protein powder. Tasty element. Sweetner. Lookout Barefoot Contessa, Red's comin' to town!!

Jay Robb is one that is very popular here.

Personally, I prefer Walker Diet because it is more nutritious. It has 6g of fat, while Jay Robb has 0g of fat, but it is also packed with vitamins whereas Jay Robb only has amino acids.

I can't wait for P3 because I intend to use the vanilla Walker Diet protein shake mix with a plethora of different s/f Da Vinci syrups!

my favorite is:

1 scoop protein powder
150-200g strawberries (frozen is best)
2T heavy whipping cream
1c unsweetened almond milk
sweetener to taste

you can have it like this, but then i also like to add a 5.3oz container of plain fat free dannon greek yogurt.

or a chocolate one:

1cup almond milk
2T hwc
1 scoop protein powder
2T cocoa powder
sweetener to taste
ice cubes
